I recently integrated my twitter microblog on my elitetrack author page and I’ve found a good way to put it to use. I’m at a mid-week multi with my best decathlete at a meet in Princeton and I thought it would be a cool way to live blog what should be a nice competition. There are several NCAA qualifiers here and conditions are great. We’ve come with the explicit goal of breaking 7,000 points. This is my first year working full time with this athlete and he’s made some big gains. His previous best is 6661 points. Follow along if you’re interested. I’ll give running comments throughout the day. Hopefully providing some interesting information along the way.
